Bus Report #575

This morning was my 22 Fillmore driver's last morning on our route.I got in the bus and smiled at him and said, "It's your last day, isn't it? It's been fun, we'll miss you."He extended his hand and we shook, and I wished him good luck and went to sit down.The rest of the ride he held court, telling the regulars it was his last day, shaking hands, even getting some hugs from the older ladies.This is the kind of Muni I want every day.
